A Victorian novel which follows the fortunes of John Halifax, a young orphan determined to make his way in the world. "No doubt the story makes its strongest appeal to a large class of young readers who at the beginning of life are aspiring to that triumph over adverse circumstances in which Miss Mulock's hero succeeded so well."
